Chapter 1: I am a mutant

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the x-men sob

My name is Scott Summers, and I am 24 this year. I may be just another normal guy on the streets, but I am not. I am a mutant.

I am sure that you know all about us. You might pity us, be fascinated with us, or like most of the human race, the Homo sapiens, fear us, the Homo superiors.

I am a mutant, but I am also human, and like all humans my age, I face problems. One of them is, of course, saving the human race against crazy mutants. But the problem I am facing right now is much more severe.

You see, I like this new girl at the mansion called Ororo Munroe. Nice name, right? It's supposed to mean beautiful in some language and I have to say I can't think of any one better suited for it than her.

She is African-American and turns 21 this year. She is tall but not as tall as me. She has mahogany-colored skin and brilliant blue eyes. Although she has just joined, she teaches botany and meteorology, which fits nicely with her powers to control weather.

She is quite shy and seldom speaks to others but she still answers when you call her. She has a wonderful smile that could melt your heart. And, she is really smart too, did I mention that?

She doesn't talk much about her past; I guess she didn't really have a good life, like me. We are kind of close actually. We sit next to each other most of the time during meals and we talk everyday. Actually, I tell my corny jokes (which I never tell to other people) and she pretends to be interested. But we still have fun together.

But one mission changed it all…
